At the feet of her adoptive father, renowned private informer Marcus Didius Falco, Flavia Albia learned a number of important rules. First and foremost-always keep one's distance from the palace, nothing good comes from that direction. But right behind it-murder is the business of the Vigiles, best to leave them to it.

Out of sympathy for the dead women and their grieving relatives, Albia decides to work with the vile Karus and bring the serial killer to justice."--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>In the sacred grove of Julius Caesar, something deadly stirs in the undergrowth--a serial killer, who haunted the gardens for years, has claimed another victim--in Lindsey Davis's next historical mystery, <i>The Grove of the Caesars</i>.</b> <p/> At the feet of her adoptive father, renowned private informer Marcus Didius Falco, Flavia Albia learned a number of important rules.
